No running back is worth investing in for the long haul. Period.
I would also go on to say no football player PERIOD is worth investing in for the long haul. The number of rc rc parallels and of course rc autos that every company puts out now in dozens of annual products is absolutely astounding.. Even when compared to as short a time ago as 2005... Needless to say 1998 and 2000 etc.

The risk to reward scenario at this point with him does not make currently investing in him worth it. It's almost exactly parallel to the Demarco Murray situation last year...very little to be gained after his initial 'sensation' phase after his 2nd or 3rd game. Then bam...injury.

If you want a RB to invest in, I'd look at David Wilson. Bradshaw is injury prone and Wilson looks like he's got the explosiveness to be a difference maker. He got in the doghouse early this year with fumble issues. As long as he fixes that issue, he should be surrounded by a solid team for the next 4-5 years and have an opportunity to be the man at some point. Sure, they are using Andre Brown right now as their #2 back but I don't see a lot that's "special" about Brown. Wilson has the skills to leapfrog him in the next 1-2 years, just like Bradshaw did to Jacobs.

Just thought this was a good time to bump this one up. Hater-ade for all!
